Review: Gregg Allman - One More Try - An Anthology (1997) FLAC

If you are a fan of Gregg Allman, you might want to check out his compilation album One More Try: An Anthology, released in 1997 by Polygram Records and Capricorn Records. This album collects demos, outtakes, and previously unreleased alternate versions of songs by Allman, mainly dating from the period in which he recorded his first solo album, Laid Back, in 1973[^3^]. It also includes some tracks from his later solo albums and collaborations with other artists, such as Berry Oakley, Buddy Miles, Johnny Winter, and Jackson Browne.

The album spans two discs and 34 songs, covering every phase of Allman's career. Of course, it concentrates on his solo career -- all of his hits, key album tracks, and AOR staples are here -- but it also contains a couple of Allman Brothers cuts for good measure[^2^]. Some of the highlights include One More Try, Midnight Rider, When a Man Loves a Woman, Wasted Words, Brightest Smile in Town, Never Knew How Much (I Needed You), Please Call Home, Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Come and Go Blues, These Days, Queen of Hearts, and It's Not My Cross to Bear.

The album also features a 24-page color booklet with liner notes by Scott Schinder and a detailed discography[^1^]. The sound quality is excellent, as the tracks have been remastered from the original tapes. The FLAC format ensures that you can enjoy the music in high fidelity without any loss of quality.

One More Try: An Anthology is the definitive Gregg Allman collection. It showcases his talent as a singer, songwriter, keyboardist, and guitarist. It also reveals his influences from blues, soul, rock, and country music. It is a weighty anthology that winds up as the final statement on Gregg Allman's career.

Gregg Allman was born in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1947. He and his brother Duane Allman grew up listening to blues, country, and R&B music. They formed their first band, the Allman Joys, in 1965. They later moved to Los Angeles and changed their name to Hour Glass. They recorded two albums for Liberty Records, but they were unhappy with the label's creative control. They returned to the South and formed the Allman Brothers Band in 1969, along with Dickey Betts, Berry Oakley, Butch Trucks, and Jai Johanny Johanson.

The Allman Brothers Band became one of the most influential and successful bands in the history of Southern rock. They blended blues, jazz, country, and rock into a unique sound that featured extended improvisations and dual guitar harmonies. They released several classic albums, such as The Allman Brothers Band, Idlewild South, At Fillmore East, Eat a Peach, and Brothers and Sisters. They also faced several tragedies, such as the deaths of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley in motorcycle accidents in 1971 and 1972, respectively.

Gregg Allman started his solo career in 1973 with the album Laid Back, which featured a more mellow and soulful style than his work with the Allman Brothers Band. He also married Cher in 1975 and recorded a duet album with her, Two the Hard Way. However, their marriage was short-lived and ended in divorce in 1979. Allman struggled with drug and alcohol addiction for many years, which affected his personal and professional life. He released several more solo albums in the 1970s and 1980s, such as Playin' Up a Storm, I'm No Angel, and Just Before the Bullets Fly, but none of them matched the success of Laid Back. aa16f39245
